i FINALLY got a look at the new Shounen Club so i could see Ya-Ya-Yah's new song, and even though i'm about to pass out from exhaustion, i just had to squee for a moment:

(excuse the weirdness of the single-cap faces)
THAT, my friends, is SHOON AND TAIYO, singing parts together and getting camera attention. They get the camera over and over during this live, i swear i saw more Taiyo during Baby Babe than I have in the last six months combined.
they're building up Shoon and Taiyo's personalities. I don't want to jinx it, and I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but guys, I really really think Y3 might be gearing up for a shot at a debut. Yabu's been a talent for so long, and Hikaru is so comfortable being the goofy MC, but far more telling is that Shoon and Taiyo are really starting to do things, to build up a presence, and in Taiyo's case, really starting to improve and gain confidence.
This live was long, it was fun, the boys looked good, the dancing was crisp, it was obviously choreographed to their talents (no making Taiyo scrunched all up!), it sounded the best I've heard Y3 sound as a group probably ever, but most importantly, they were having so much fun! Air Guitar *___________*
And they looked like a group, not just Yabu-and-Hikaru's-vehicle. OH, BOYS. MUST NOT HOPE. *tries to hide crossed fingers in pockets*

Date: 2007-09-11 10:08 am (UTC)It was a really good performance for the group as a whole. I'm so happy to see Shoon and Taiyou relaxed, jumping about, and just having fun ^^
I loved that in the Intro-game Taiyou pushed Yabu to get to the buzzer. XD So much Yabu abuse, since he fell over later during that game ^^;
But really, this all makes my Shookawa fan go a-flutter ^__^

Date: 2007-09-11 11:08 am (UTC)i have a bunch? You can steal one of the ones i'm using, if you want, or if you have something in mind i can make some more. I think i need a Shoon/Taiyo.

Date: 2007-09-11 04:09 pm (UTC)The game was funny, but sadly, I could only identify 2.5 songs.
Strangely enough, Sukiyanen Osaka was blaringly obvious (possibly because I have been singing it ALL DAY at work after my manager said "maido ari" to me in the morning), even though the boys were all losers. XD Also Cherish. And then I totally don't know the name of that other K8 song, but I could at least get the K8 part.
I don't know most of the older senpai songs, although I recognize that Sekai SMAP one, if only because I've heard juniors singing it.
Also. Chinen. DAMN that kid can sing. I reallllly hope puberty doesn't mess with that.

DAMN. O_O

The only reason the Rainbows win is because Kawai is a freak. XD

Date: 2007-09-11 05:38 pm (UTC)Is "idol group" sort of a blanket term for any like, j-pop bands and whatnot? Or does it mean something more specific? OR DO YOU THINK I'M CRAZY FOR EVEN ASKING THIS.
THANK YOU <333
Re: i...think i need ATLEAST a shoon icon :\
Date: 2007-09-11 06:12 pm (UTC)OH MY I might just do that! Thank you! If we can ever manage to locate a good picture of Taiyo on a chair....it shall have to be iconned. SHOON/TAIYO. YES. For some reason, I also would like a Shoon/Ryo icon. ;_;
I wonder if I can come up with anything awesome for an icon :-?

It'll probably grow on me because it's Ya-Ya~ and I'm totally biased but ... *coughs*
Zombie does no want to go to bed. It wants to watch old Shounen Club and Ya3 episodes.

Date: 2007-09-28 09:50 pm (UTC)Sorry guys, but with Hey!Say!JUMP's debut and it taking Yabu and Hikaru with it, A debut for Ya-Ya-Yah does not look very likly.
They are still together though right? that is a bonus ^^

Date: 2007-09-28 10:10 pm (UTC)2) In particular, back-commenting on it to say nothing except "it won't happen" is not only irritating, since it is plain that I am a fan of Ya-Ya-Yah, it's downright impolite.
3) Did you really think it was a super good plan to go onto somebody's journal and rub their face in the fact that something they love might be coming to an end, only days after the news has broken?
4) If you are trying to start a conversation, perhaps you would be more interested in the post i made not even an hour ago, which says I am still waiting for news about Y3's fate. PS - Ryo/Uchi seem to have debuted twice just fine.
5) putting a cute little smiley face in front of your comment does not in fact make it more acceptable.
Next time you feel like saying something random to somebody you don't know, about something which they clearly will not enjoy hearing, perhaps you should A) find a current post, and B) wait until everybody's emotions die back down.

Date: 2007-09-29 07:41 am (UTC)Don't you think it is better to be told by your friends and peers on livejournal than find out by some website on the internet?
I was trying to be nice, I am also hurt by the Debut, but seem to be the only one around here who still hold's hope for Ya-Ya-Yah.
You should try and lighten up more, it makes me sad that you are so quick to accuse me of such things when all I am trying to do is make friends and help people.
They are still togther, so you should stop condeming them and living in doom and gloom, ^^ We can all look forward to them debuting together at a later date, ne? ^^

Date: 2007-09-29 01:32 pm (UTC)It would have saved you a lot of hurt feelings if you had taken the time to check how i was feeling about it right now, rather than three weeks ago, before any of this happened.
Also, you seemed to be confused about my actual feelings here, which is not surprising since you have not actually read any of them, but just for the record:
1. I love Ya-Ya-Yah, and I haven't given up hope. They have a TV show and are still listed on the site as a group, they're very popular, and they've had a lot of new songs/costumes/attention lately. I am scared for them, but we're just going to have to wait and see. So no, you are not "the only one."
2. I'm not exactly "living in doom and gloom," since I have explicitly stated (in posts you haven't read) that I am willing to give HSJ a chance if Y3 continues activities. I'm also not really sure where you got the idea that i'm "condeming them" since in my own reply to you I clearly state that I think a debut for Y3 is still possible.
My real problem with your comment was not that you were trying to give me news, it was that you hadn't bothered to look and see whether I already knew the news, which I clearly do. Again, if you really are looking to make friends, the place to start is the most current entry, not the entry from three weeks ago.

Date: 2007-09-29 04:43 pm (UTC)I am sorry for being tactless and insensitive, but you were also too sensitive and took it the wrong way, you were very quick to accuse me without fist asking for my intentions behind the post ^^
But lets not argue, I do not want this to end up like so many forums were it is just filled with people argueing.
We both want the same thing so let's just agree to end this arguement and wish for Ya-Ya-Yah to debut together soon. ^^
